A US Passport is a travel document, issued by the US government, that certifies the identity and US citizenship of its holder, primarily for international travel. More than half of Americans who travel internationally are content with their lives exactly the way they are. Then why is it that 60% of Americans do not have a passport? You may have many come up with plenty of reasons for not having a US Passport, here are some that may change your mind!

1. You want additional identification:
   
   Your passport can generally be used in place of state ID or driver’s licenses in any situation that requires proof of identity, age, or citizenship.
   
   Your passport can be used in most of the situations when a birth certificate is required.
   
   It can be used to obtain a new driver’s license or state ID.
   
   If your State’s licenses are not Real ID compliant, you may be required to bring your passport with you for domestic travel.
